COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBrewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our farmers with a little hint of corn.
Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise.
Expect this Ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying.

The posted ratings say to me that people don’t understand the Cream Ale style. This New Glarus is a very nice example of the style. We’re talking a light sweet (corn) expression of the ale yeast. Overall, a nice cream ale.

Tap at Maxwell’s - pours pale gold, brief head, nice effervescence. Not much aroma. And truth be told, not much flavor either. Yes, it has Belgium profile, and it isn’t watery... but it lacks the typical New Glarus boldness. So, it is a good session beer, and good beer for those taking there first moves away from Bud, Coors, etc.

bottle. slightly hazy with a glowing gold color and a small, frothy, white head. lightly fruity with pear, apple, green banana. flavors are similar with a hint of tart from maybe some acidulated malt(?). the flaked product lends a full creamy body and the carbonation level is not too sharp, so its easily drinkable. as far as cream ales go, this is tough to beat.
